4 more than twice a number is 743

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 743" is what we are solving here.

In other words, you are looking for a number (x) that if you multiply it by two (same as twice) and then add 4, you get 743.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 743

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 4 = 743

2x + 4 - 4 = 743 - 4
2x = 739

2x/2 = 739/2
x = 369.5

Answer = 369.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 369.5 is 739, and 4 more than 739 is in fact 743.
